Universal conhscation followed by
universal auction. 1t is idle to
protest that you would only con-
6scate the rent, legal subtlety
which the suffering landlord will
steadily refuse to swallow. 1t is
not to honest investigation that we
owe this learned distinction, but
to a desire to sugar-coat the pill to
render the patient docile. Accor-
dinghy, to the grand truth of the
brotherhood of man which was
soaring aloft so bravely, we have
tackled a miserable little tail in
the shape of patent safety guide
which Insignificant as it at first
appeared may if overlooked, drag
the kite into very dirty waters.
That we should as the end of all
our efforts have the privilege of
farming out our lands to the high
est bidder! The apotheosis of
landlordism! The universal land
lord! The sweet simplitity of a
national life concentrated on-the
gathering of rents. And the glo-
rious, unfettered individualism of
the tenant, free to play what
pranks he pleases with the public
property so long as he foots the
bill for rent. Argyle, whom you
properly hayed as a truly indefen-
sible landlord, taunted you with
the meaness of your philosophy.

Syracuse 10 turn the Labor Party
into party of lawyers, bankers
and dead-Beats. Henry George !"
A tremendous storm Of yells
stopped the speaker. The Social
lists accepted the challenge and
jumping menacingly to their
feet answered yell for yell and
groan for groan. A hundred
voices howled defiance and men
shook theit clenched hands in the
air. The band struck up the Mar
seillaise and the red flags on the
platform were hoisted and waved
madly. The Socialists began to
sing the French hymn at the top
of their voices. The uproar lasted
for FIVE minutes, and then the
George heelers gave in. After
| this s1isade theintrruptiuu died
down. Mr.. Rogers went on to
show the iniquity Of the committee
on credentials at Syracuse, who
admitted delegates he said with
out any constituency whatever,
and barred out Socialists who rep
resented 5000 Henry George vot-
ers. He concluded by giving a
spicy list of the conspirators who
had done the iniquity, naming
and describing them with cutting
sarcasm. The following resolu-
tions were adopted:
!! Reolved, That we, workingmen
of New York city, in mass meet
ing assembled repudiate Henry
George, his platform and his per-
sonal political machine; that we
denounce his pandering to the
hatreds and prejudices Of the cap
italistic class in attempting to
cast odium on that earnest body
of wage-workers and advanced
thinkers who for fifty years have
fought the battles of huma
and progress on two contine
that we call upon organized labor
throughout the country to rescue
the labor movement from the
bossism of an ungratefui and mar
row-minded theorist, whose past
professions are plainly belied
by his recent declarations and
conduct. That until a new
party is formed, that is truly
representative Of the ultimate
aims and pres ent requirements of
labor. e., seeking in practical
measures the immediate improve
ment of its condition, while keep
ing in view the abolition of the
wage system and the substitution
therefor of co-operative industry
we pledge ourselves to stand
united against the political parties,
including the George machine.
Resolved, That we call upon all
assembly district organizations
opposed to the Henry George
ring within the United Labor
Party to each elect three dele
gates to conference to be held
at 9 a. m. on Sunday, September
a, at Webster Hall, Fast Eleventh
street, between Third and Fourth

Who Gather in Mass
i Meeting.
Cooper Union Ablaxe with the Enthu.
sissm Of Thousands Of
TOilers.

The immense hall of the Cooper
Institute in New York was packed
to the doors and overAowing on
Monday, August ~, with Social
lists who assembled to enter a pro-
test against the expulsion Of their
delegates from the Syracuse con-
vention by the Henry George wing
OF the United Labot Party. Fifty
three policemen were "picketed"
in the hall to enforce" order, Il.
G. provoke a riot if it were posi-
ble.) A number of George men
came for the same purpose. These
tried their lungs against those who
called the meeting, the Socialists,
whenever the name of Henry
George was mentioned. Interrupt
tions were frequent and bolster
Gus and the speakers were stop
ped for several minutes. The
GOODNESS of Chairman O'Neil saw
ed the Socialistic Party from a
disgraceful scene, which might
have occurred had the George
rowdies been left to their will.
There were very few women in
the audience. The first incident
to stir the audience to fever heat
was the appearance of the red
flag, which was borne in trium-
phantly by the Twelfth Assembly
District of the United Labor Par
ty. An old man in white shirt.
without the formality of a collar,
rose up and called excitedly for
three cheers for "the red flag"
Men all over the hall jumped to
their feet, with waving hats, and
yelled themselves red in the face.
As the sound died away thin
voice cried out: Rats and then
the anti-Socialists, a band of one
hundred of whom sat in a body,
made the building shake with
counter cheers.
When Edward Goldsmith called
the meeting there were three red
flags on the platform and the fol-
lowing gentlemen: Ludwig Jablo-
nowski, George A. Block, Charles
J. Hilley, Ernst Boehm, D. S. ia
cob, Herman Strelig, William A.
Wallace, S. Mahover, B. Berlyn
and Walter Vrooman.
Mr.. Goldsmith introduced Thos.
O'Neill as chairman. Mr.. O'Neill
is a straight, resolute, cookbook
ing young fellow with clarion
voice. He began BY saying that
an intimation that a disturbance
was meditated had come to his
ears. He thought there was too
much manhood even in the
George party to countenance any
interference with the free express
ion of thought. Here are some
of the things Mr.. O'Neill said:
1--WE are met to consider the
long and active intrigue which
eliminated in the outrage at Syr-
acuse. The men who were guilty
of it turned back the wheels of
progress. The question is wheth-
er United Labor shall stand man.
fully for its convictions or obey
the dictates and bow down to the
theories of boss. The expulsion
at Syracuse was the work of
an unscrupulous cabal that has
made persistent attacks upon the
honest and jealous men in the
labor movement.
Il congratulate our brothers on
their success in avoiding the hu-
initiation of being set up as paper
soldiers for Papa Georges men to
knock down. They stood up
boldly for their rights as mem
bers of the partyin good standing,
and they were armed with the
The Labor enquirer., 1887-09-03

credentials which their supplant-
ers could never show.
ut was said at Syracuse that
the tail was trying to wag the dog,
and that they would cut off the
tail. They have done so. When
the Socialists were expelled the
tail was cut off close behind the
dogs ears, and the sturdy old
mastiff of labor is with us tonight,
and no head is better than a
boss.
with regard to the platform at
Syracuse it may be true that we
want the land to live on, but we
need other things first. We con-
tend that we should control the
instruments of production.
1--WE are men who will never
give up our principles for any man
or any body of men. We can not
and will not turn back the wheels
of progress. What would the
wretched factory girl find in Mt
realization of Georges land Theory
to help her condition? We can't
allow our daughters to pine away
while we go forth on visionary
crusade after the land"
The speaker then launched into
a charge that the action at SYRIA
cuse was the premeditated design
of a band of political conspira-
tors. He pronounced the name
of Henry George, and at once his
voice was drowned in cyclone of
groans, cheers and Kisses that con-
tinued for several minutes. Mr..
O'Neill stood up against it brave
ly, and concluded his speech by a
warning against the one-man pow
er in the United Labor Party,
which he said would inevitably
blast the hopes of labor.
William Penn Rogers, an aristo-
cratic and well-dressed gentleman,
was next introduced. He began
by reading his resignation from
the United Labor Party and from
the county comittee. He said:
II believed that the United La
Dor Party was devoted to the in
terests of labor, but / now find it
dominated by a corrupt ring.
Some months ago | offered at a
meeting of the executive commit
tee resolution that membership
in the Socialistic Labor Party
should not debar one from mem
bership in the United Labor Party.
1t was adopted without a dissent
ing voice, and John McMackin
took occasion to compliment the
Socialists on their courage and
their industry and their fidelity to
the party. A few days afterward
the committee decided that So
cialist was not eligible to the Unit
ed Labor Party. How did the
change come about2 Voice
"Six thousand dollars.
II declare that plot was con-
cocted in room 28 of the Cooper
Institute by a wicked cabal to
oust us from the party. A cow

Hugh Conveys Death.

There is one circumstance touching
the border of Italian superstition in
connection with the death of Mr.. Far
gus that is little known During his
stay at Naples he met the late Lord
Houghton Orchard Monckton Mines),
and it Glanced at that time there was
opened at Pompeii one Of those famous
and long buried villas. Lord Hough-
ton was anxious that his young con-
frero should accompany him on visit
to the spot, and the peer used his in
llueuce with the Government to obtain
the necessary permission. Some OBJ
stacles for Il time prevailed, as the
Italians have belief that two out of a
company of visitors 30 such scenes will
surely die before the end of the year;
but the authorities at length yielded to
Lord Houghton's request The visit
was made, and the strange fact remains
that the aged poet and the young nov
elist were both dead within the pre-
dicted period. Somewhere in the
dark the Shadow sits ana waits. -

HILLS VEToEs.

Governor Hill. OF New York, Ia be
coming almost as famous for his vetoes
81 his fat witted predecessor in Office,
Eno nov, By virtue Of q vholly ineom
pFshensibIe freak on the part Of small
mai Fity Of the Amerie N psople, oocu
pies the exalted position Of President
Of the United States. Several of Gov.
ernoF Hills yetoes have excited Wild =
spread sm' ment. and each one has
apparently Squared him on 10 another
81 ,rt.
His latest veto IL that OF the bill pro
vidipR for a convention 20 frame n rev
consultation 10 be submitted 10 the
people Of New York. For years tie
Democrats Of New York have demanded
o constitutional convention, and for
years have accused the Republicans of
pr vsn,iuR the Callis z Il snoh oonven-
tioR. Finally, the Republicans pledged
themselves In their platform to favor
ths calling Of a convention, and ibe
Republican Legislature passed bill 10
accordance With this pledge. And nov
the bill passed by Republican LeRis-
iature has been vetoed by the Demo
cratic Governor.
Il 10 plain that the Democrats Of New
York do not know precisely what they
want. They have been elAmorinR for
@ constitutional convention, and. nox
shat IL lie offered TO them, they refuse it.
They are qaeer lot.
